The full-time mismatch
A 40-hour position can be more capacity and cost than the work actually requires.

Tell us where you need supportTHE SMARTER FIRST STEP
Offshore support shouldn’t require a leap of faith.
Many Australian businesses have valuable, recurring work that needs consistent ownership — just not enough of it to justify another full-time position.
Remote Partners fills that gap with a dedicated professional who becomes part of your weekly rhythm, backed by ongoing local and in-country support.
The local part-time gap
Good local support can be hard to find, costly for the hours worked and rarely available for fractional roles.
The support gap
You need a capable person for the work and an experienced team supporting the relationship behind them.
THE PART-TIME MODEL
One person. Set hours.
Every week.
This is not a shared assistant or task-by-task service. Your Remote Partner works exclusively with your business on an agreed schedule.
20
hours per week
Choose 20, 25 or 30 hours around the schedule that suits you.
1

One carefully matched team member — never a rotating pool.

THE MANAGEMENT BEHIND YOUR REMOTE PARTNER •
You manage the priorities.
We manage the partnership.
Your Remote Partner works directly with your business, but you are not left to handle the employment relationship alone. Our management continues after placement to keep expectations clear, administration handled and both sides supported.
Why it matters Good remote working relationships need more than a successful introduction. They need clear onboarding, a reliable point of contact and practical support when something needs attention.
Talk through the supportRole setup and onboarding
We help clarify the role, expectations and working arrangement so your Remote Partner starts with direction.
A consistent point of contact
You have someone to call for guidance, questions or support throughout the relationship—not only during recruitment.
Regular relationship support
We stay connected and help keep communication, expectations and the working relationship on track.
Payroll and administration
We handle local payroll and employment administration in the Philippines so you can focus on the work.
HR and compliance
We manage local HR, statutory requirements and compliance behind the scenes.
Help when issues arise
If a concern comes up, we help both sides address it early, clearly and constructively.
A MODEL THAT GROWS WITH YOU
Part-time can be
the right long-term fit.
Keep the role part-time for as long as it suits your business, or add capacity later without losing the person or knowledge you have invested in.
Plan your first roleStart at 20 hours
Give recurring work to one dedicated person on a consistent weekly schedule.
Stay part-time
Keep the same schedule as a permanent, practical part of how your business operates.
Add more hours

Build your wider team
Add part-time or full-time roles when each area is ready.

Australian business owners on what changed when the right person joined their team part-time.
01 / BUSINESS GROWTH“Having part-time support has changed my business and allowed me to extend my reach as I grow the company. As a small independent business owner, having an employee has been a thrill.
02 / BOOKKEEPING SUPPORT“Trusting someone I’d never physically met was a challenge. Pushing past that barrier has definitely been worth it. My part-time bookkeeper has been a lifesaver.

ABOUT RHYS •
The person behind
Remote Partners.
Rhys Gordon built Remote Partners around a simple belief: Australian businesses shouldn’t have to choose between growing and protecting their margins.
After seeing first-hand how the right offshore team transforms a growing business — more capacity, lower overhead and no drop in quality — Rhys set out to make that advantage available to Australian SMEs without the usual risk, admin or guesswork.
- Australian-owned and accountable — a local point of contact, not an overseas call centre
- Hand-picked, university-educated staff working your hours, in your time zone
- Scale your team without increasing overheads
COMMON QUESTIONS
Before you
book the call.
Is 20 hours a week enough to make a difference?
For many admin, support and back-office roles, yes. It gives a capable person consistent weekly ownership of recurring work without requiring a full-time position.
Can I increase hours later without changing staff?
Yes. Hours can grow with your existing team member, from 20 hours through to a larger weekly schedule as your needs change.
Who manages my Remote Partner day to day?
You set priorities and lead the day-to-day work, just as you would with any team member. We stay beside you with onboarding, regular account support, payroll, HR and compliance, and help if a concern needs to be worked through.
Is there a lock-in contract?
No. The part-time model is month-to-month by default, giving your business an ongoing, flexible staffing option without a long-term lock-in.
What happens if the role grows?
We can help you increase the hours of your existing Remote Partner, so you can add capacity without re-hiring or re-training.
What work is not suited to a part-time role?
Work needing constant real-time coverage across a full local business day is usually better suited to full-time. We will tell you honestly if that is the case.
